As a member of WaterAid’s global federation, WaterAid Sweden is at the forefront of building inspirational partnerships with corporations, influencing policy makers and getting water, toilets and hygiene to the top of the political agenda.

Together with their incredible supporters, they also play an essential role in funding and coordinating our work around the world.

That means getting clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to millions more people every year, enabling them to unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.
